SBL awarded Cyber Essentials PLUS accreditation

SBL are delighted to have achieved Cyber Essentials PLUS accreditation, in place of our existing Cyber Essentials accreditation. This government backed certification aims to help organisations implement basic levels of protection against cyber attacks, and has become an essential part of the cyber security toolkit for businesses across the UK.

Awarded to us by IASME, Cyber Essentials PLUS is the highest level of engagement possible with the scheme. Cyber Essentials PLUS involves a technical audit of the systems that are in-scope for Cyber Essentials by a qualified and independent assessor. The same five controls are examined as for the basic level accreditation, however testing is more extensive; simulating basic hacking and phishing attacks to ensure they work in practice.

Our certification will reassure customers that we take cyber security seriously and demonstrates our on-going commitment towards keeping our customers’ data protected to a highly sought after and recognised standard.
